We are proposing a fully autonomous, ATV-sized robot equipped with advanced machine vision for the identification and collection of specialized waste containers from suburban homes. This robot will autonomously navigate through neighborhoods, empty residents’ waste bins into its internal container, and move to the next house. By specifically addressing waste collection in suburban areas, where homes are more spread out, the robot optimizes routes and operations to improve efficiency.
This solution solves the city challenge by:
• Reducing the carbon footprint of waste collection vehicles.
• Minimizing traffic disruptions caused by large waste collection trucks.
• Offering a precise and consistent waste collection service.
